The ‘Camp Fire’ in Paradise, California has been devastating for many in Northern California. Sadly, several members of IBEW Local 340 lost their homes and possessions during this fire and face uncertainty over the coming weeks and months.

We are creating this fund so that Brothers & Sisters from across the country can have a singular place to contribute to these members and their families. ALL MONEY contributed will be equally split between those members who have lost their homes in this disastrous fire.

One of the greatest things about being in an organization like this is how well we all care for and protect one another in times like this. Let’s step up and show these Brothers & Sisters the true meaning of BROTHERHOOD.
